Minos securities: spain’s first tokenized securities agency
Spain’s National Securities Market Commission authorizes Minos Securities to offer a complete issuance, custody, trading and registration of tokenized financial assets service under the Securities Markets and Investment Services Act.
Madrid, May 21, 2025.- Minos, the Prosegur Cash partially owned virtual assets company, has been authorized by Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to set up Minos Securities Agency, the country’s first such company to offer a comprehensive digital asset service that includes tokenization, custody, issuance, marketing, ERIR (Entity Responsible for Information and Registration), money market instruments and investment funds.
Minos Securities will operate via its own tokenization and all-in-one trading platform to simplify issuing and marketing tokenized financial instruments transparently and in compliance with current regulations. The platform will connect issuers and investors directly without additional intermediaries, in line with the group's strategy of offering institutional services on digital assets, and will be available to other investment firms and credit institutions.
In addition, by acting as an ERIR, Minos Securities will assume responsibility for verifying and registering financial tokens using distributed ledger technologies (DLT), a key requirement to ensure their legal and operational validity.
Highlighting the importance of official authorization, José Ángel Fernández Freire, Corporate Director of Innovation at Prosegur Cash, explained: “The company will now be able to facilitate the transition between the physical and virtual worlds through a tokenized, regulated and secure model, providing confidence to both issuers and investors".
Alfonso Ayuso, CEO of Minos, added: "The platform’s capacity, together with the regulatory aspect, guarantees an integrated service, whether cryptoassets or tokenized financial instruments, guaranteeing homogeneous and interoperable integration, including the ability to act as an ERIR."
The platform will aid the transition of Spain’s traditional financial ecosystem towards tokenized finance, acting as a mediator between issuers of tokenized financial products and investors.
As a result, Minos and Prosegur are now positioned as leaders in the Spanish financial ecosystem by offering, through Minos Securities, complete digital assets solutions to both institutional and retail clients under the umbrella of Spain’s Securities Market and Investment Services Lawin accordance with European MiCA regulation.
